Summary:
Using a gene-editing tool known as CRISPR/Cas9, researchers have made a "genetic vaccine" that will continually inject itself into mosquitoes' DNA. Such a vaccine, known as a gene drive, could spread to nearly every mosquito in a population within a few generations. The accomplishment, described online November 23 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, brings researchers one step closer to malaria eradication.
